  • UNCERTAIN GLORY (The Other Casablanca) for THOMAS Mcnulty- in Appreciation and Gratitude*
    UNCERTAIN GLORY (The other Casablanca) For THOMAS McNULTY- in appreciation and gratitude* Uncertain Glory is the 29th in the celluloid career of Errol Flynn. The only film of Flynn’s released for the year 1944 falling between Northern Pursuit and Objective Burma. The first of a series of seven films (ultimately amended to three) to be made by Flynn’s company, Thomson Productions, which was contracted to Warners both for use of facilities and release arrange-ments. It has the distinction of being the 5th of 8 films in which Flynn would die, along with Charge of the Light Brigade, Dawn Patrol, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, They Died With Their Boots On, Rocky Mountain, Too Much Too Soon, and The Roots of Heaven). And also the 4th of 5 dealing with the subject of World War 2- the others being Desperate Journey, Edge of Darkness, Northern Pursuit, and Objective Burma. It’s Flynn’s first important film post-trial. He’s in mid-career, and about 33 years old. He is vulnerable and changed. And the performance shows it- someone in transition, from a boyish attitude toward life into a man’s more serious focus (remember we’re speaking about Flynn: he still had his extra-curricular activities- only less of them). At about this time he was paying alimony and support, married**, LIVING WITH Nora, a father, working on the novel Showdown (writing always having a calming effect), and a recently successful USO and bond tour (meaning public acceptance). He chose this film as his next project, and it DID NOT capitalize on (although there are the usual references to a young man in search of feminine company) the rape trial (the ordeal actually started on 10/11/42 with 2 policemen coming to the house and culminated in an acquittal on 2/6/43) by suggesting the new image he would ultimately be saddled with.

  • Pieta Will Be Repaired K of C to Open 4
    Before and after damage 'Vandalized' Pieta will be repaired By JAMES C. O'NEILL VATICAN CITY - (NC) - Michelan- gelo's masterpiece, the Pieta, severely damaged by a hammer-wielding Hungarian will be restored as faithfully as possible to its original beauty but will remain forever flawed. The 6,700-pound statue carved from a single block of white Cararra marble was smashed by several hammer blows shortly before noon Pentecost Sunday, May 20, in its side chapel in St. Peter's Basilica. The statue, portraying the sorrowing Virgin holding the limp, dead body of Christ, is world famous and considered perhaps the most valued treasure of the Vatican. ACCORDING to visitors in the church at the time, a bearded man leaped over a low marble railing of the chapel, jumped on a table in front of the statue and began flailing away with a mason's hammer. In the rain of blows on the figure, of the Virgin the (continued on page 21) CHE PIETA," by Michelangelo, is shown left in 1964 as it was photographed during »e New York World's Fair. At right, damage to the fqmous sculpture is evident after a tan, who shouted, "I'm Jesus Christ," attacked it with a hammer severing the left rm of the Virgin and chipping some marble from Virgin's face and nose.

  • Tommy Dorsey 1 9
    TOMMY DORSEY 1 9 4 6 Prepared by: DENNIS M. SPRAGG CHRONOLOGY PART 1 - CHAPTER 12 Updated November 28, 2017 January 1946 INSIDE ORCHESTRAS – MUSIC “There has been considerable discussion in N. Y. about the reports of a fire at the Vogue Record Laboratories in Detroit, which is claimed to have destroyed masters of Art Mooney's first disks for that company. Apparently the feeling is that the first story was just an "out" for the company to evade promised release dates due to its inability to start production. Fire story, however, is on the level. Beside Mooney's masters, four sides by Charlie Shavers were destroyed. Shavers, trumpeter with Tommy Dorsey's band, had cut four jumpers with a small band.”1 TD – MCA SPAT LOOKS SETTLED “Tommy Dorsey's difficulties with Music Corp. of America, which led the leader several weeks ago to order MCA to stop booking his orchestra,, have been smoothed over. Dorsey and MCA execs had one or two meetings during the past week during which the differences were patched up. This was one dispute between the leader and MCA that was kept almost completely under cover. Its cause is still vague, although it is known that the friction was over money, not over the bookings. At any rate, Dorsey is again being submitted by the agency. He has nothing booked following the current Capitol theatre, N. Y. run and may go straight to the Coast after its completion. Incidentally, the, new contract between RCA Victor and Dorsey has been completed, It's a three-year deal, effective yesterday (Tues.) and replacing an old deal that still had more than a year to run.

  • Those Fighting Irish and Their Good Natured Fights on Film by Steve Farrell
    1 Those Fighting Irish and their good natured fights on film By Steve Farrell The Irish and the Irish-Americans have always have had a presence in Hollywood since the earliest talkie films like Public Enemy and The Roaring Twenties. The two main stereotypes of the Irish that were projected upon the silver screen were the gangster and the priest with James Cagney being the epitome of the former and Pat O'Brien representing the later. However, very early on during the Great Depression the Irish beat cop, along with the Irish prize fighter, were added to flesh out the representation of the Irish-American to their fellow Americans. With this paper, however, I shall not concern myself with the characterization of Irish-Americans as much as I will with a particular scene in every movie featuring Irish-Americans. I refer to this reoccurring theme as 'those fighting Irish and their good natured fights." These fight scenes often time involved siblings and friends fighting for the heck of it. One of the hall-mark of these good natured is that nobody was killed or even seriously hurt. All of the participants got ion their fair share of licks before the brawl ended. Oftentimes the musical score in the background indicated that the combat was all in good fun and that all of the combatants were thoroughly enjoying the feel of fist upon flesh and flesh upon fist. Dating back to the 'stage Irishman" of the British theatrical tradition as well as 'Paddy the sentimental mischief maker' in American vaudeville the Irish and the Irish-Americans had a colorful list of stereotypical traits that Hollywood could select to represent the Irish-American to the rest of the country.

    ARSC Study Guide Film Noir Television COLLECTION PROFILE Considered by some to be a movement and others a genre, the classic period of film noir stretched from 1941 to 1958, bookended by the seminal films The Maltese Falcon and Touch of Evil. Film noir (or literally “black film”), a term coined by the French film critic Nino Frank, was often used to describe films that exhibited low- key black and white cinematography reminiscent of German Expressionism and plots centered around moral ambiguity and a rampant fear of sexuality. Often described and studied strictly in terms of its filmic manifestations, many of the stylistic aesthetics and narrative techniques of noir were prevalent on American television in such programs ranging from crime dramas (“Johnny Staccato,” “The Man With a Camera,” Set in the shadows of New York's mean streets, NBC's noir series “77 Sunset Strip”), and police procedurals “Johnny Staccato” (1959-60) starred John Cassavetes as a jazz- (“Dragnet,” “Naked City,” “The Untouchables”), pianist turned private detective. Cassavetes also directed a to science fiction anthologies (“The Outer number of episodes. Limits,” “The Twilight Zone”). Many of these programs not only exhibit noir style, but showcase the artistic efforts of many film noir luminaries. John Brahm (The Lodger, Guest in the House) directed episodes of both “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” and “The Twilight Zone.” John Cassavetes (Shadows, A Woman Under the Influence) starred and directed in “Johnny Staccato.” Joseph Cotten (The Third Man, Shadow of a Doubt)

  • BUSTER KEATON Salvador Sáinz
    BUSTER KEATON Salvador Sáinz Prólogo La figura del gran Buster Keaton está actualmente un poco olvidada ya que las últimas generaciones de espectadores no es demasiado cinéfila y está más acostumbrada al cine (?) de la última hornada. El cinéfilo refinado, sibarita, está en crisis y los amantes del cine mudo padecen de sequía en los “video-clubs”, donde muy rara vez y con cuentagotas se encuentran aquellos títulos míticos que tanto nos interesan. Años atrás, sobretodo a partir de los años 30, Keaton sufrió un eclipse debido al culto excesivo que se hacía entonces al gran Charles Chaplin. Por si fuera poco, en España, se le conocía por un horrible apodo, “Pamplinas”, del cual prefiero no hablar por que lo considero sumamente vulgar. Después están los falsos mitos que siempre han rodeado la filmografía de Buster Keaton. Por ejemplo, que estuvo encerrado varios años en un manicomio lo cual es completamente falso. Si es cierto que tenía una excesiva afición al juego y a la bebida que terminaron por destruir su reputación y su carrera. Puesto en la “lista negra” por Louis B.Mayer, ningún estudio quería darle trabajo condenándolo a un ostracismo injusto. Aquí se ha escrito mucha (mala) literatura al respecto. Mayer y Keaton tuvieron problemas personales y diferencias respecto a lo que debía ser un buen film cómico sonoro. El tiempo le ha dado la razón a éste, porque los cómicos que el zar Mayer aupó hoy no son más que un recuerdo. ¿Quién se acuerda hoy de Eddie Cantor o de Jimmy Durante por citar a alguien? Al llegar el sonoro a Keaton le reprocharon tener una voz ronca, muy grave, y Mayer le quiso marginar para proteger a Jimmy Durante, quién tenía una voz aún más ronca, y pretendieron encerrarle en las comedias de boulevard importadas desde Broadway en vez de desarrollar películas más estrictamente cinematográficas que los talkies de aquella década.
